Silas Goodrich was the husband of Mary Ann Goodrich. He was born in Glastonbury CT and died in Tioga, NY.
---Silas Goodrich (1793-1863) was born in Glastonbury CT. His parents were Eliakim Goodrich (1762-1825) and Sarah Leland (1763-1824). His obituary, published in the Owego newspaper read:
"Mr. Silas Goodrich, of the town of Tioga, who has been upon our list of subscribers ever since we have lived in Owego, died at his residence on [July 11, 1863], of brain affection, ensuing on a skin disease [erysipelas] about his neck and temple of years standing, accompanied by more or less lung affliction, in the 71st year of his age. His mortal remains were followed to their last resting place on Monday, the 13th, by a numerous procession of bereaved relatives and sympathizing friends.
He came from Connecticut to the place with his father, Eliakim Goodrich, when but nine years old. In childhood, youth, and manhood, he secured the affection, and respect of all who knew him. As a neighbor, he was so peaceable, kind, and respectful, that he made many friends, and no enemies. His family, his widow and seven children, together with a large circle of friends, are in deep mourning, but not as those who mourn without hope.
He was truly a religious man; a worthy member of the M. E. Church for twenty-five years; a constant reader of his Bible, not omitting general reading, showing an uncommon acquaintance with all parts of the Holy Scriptures. He made them his rule of faith and practice; and he closed his mortal life in peace with God and man."
Silas married a distant cousin, Mary Ann Goodrich, who also was raised in Glastonbury CT. In fact, family tradition says they were born in the same Glastonbury home, she being born after Silas' parents had relocated to Tioga NY. Silas and his wife had the agonizing experience of seeing two of their sons serve on opposite sides in the U.S. Civil War. One son served in the 5th Kansas (Federal) Cavalry and the other served in the 6th Arkansas (Confederate) Infantry. Both sons survived the war but Silas did not. He died in July 1863, without having heard from his son in the Confederate service for over two years.
